The "Half On The Head" half marathon took place in Ballyheigue today and once again Esther Murphy was amongst the prize winners. Esther finished 2nd Lady overall. Francis Maunsell also ran and described it as a very tough course especially today as it was very windy.It is described as the most scenic half marathon in Ireland but for sure Esther didn't give the scenery much thought in order to achieve such a fantastic result.
